Chapter 1 Concepts and Trends in Healthcare
◦ A new nurse is working with a preceptor on an inpatient medical-surgical unit.
The preceptor advises the student that which is the priority when working as a
professional nurse?
◦ Attending to holistic client needs
◦ Ensuring client safety
◦ Not making medication errors
◦ Providing client-
focused care
ANS: B
◦ All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However,
ensuring client safety is the priority. Up to 98,000 deaths result each year from errors
in hospital care, according to the 2000 Institute of Medicine report. Many more clients
have suffered injuries and less serious outcomes. Every nurse has the responsibility to
guard the clients safety.
